10,000 Dolls Take Over Thiruvananthapuram Home for Navarathri

Sreekanth GS, also known as Kuttu Veerashaiva, has unveiled what is being called the largest bommagolu display in Thiruvananthapuram, featuring over 10,000 dolls and figurines at his residence. The exhibition, a traditional Navarathri showcase, is open to the public from October 12 to 21.

For many years, Sreekanth has been arranging this elaborate display, which has grown in scale and popularity. This year's edition surpasses previous efforts with more than 10,000 dolls, drawing visitors from across the region. The bommagolu tradition involves arranging dolls in tiers, depicting deities, animals, and cultural scenes, and is a hallmark of Navarathri celebrations in South India.

The display not only highlights cultural heritage but also boosts local tourism and community engagement. As the festival season progresses, such events are expected to attract larger crowds, with organizers emphasizing the importance of preserving traditional art forms. The exhibition will run daily until October 21.
